I try to do a lot of the cooking outside just to keep the heat and moisture out of the coach. I don't need a fixed kitchen for that though and not sure I would want one because they never line up to where you want it to be.
What I do have and love though - is an 80cf refrigerator freezer that slides out on a tray from the basement, an induction cooktop I set on the picnic table, 5 gal water jug with spigot, and the grille. All the outdoor kitchen I could ever want.
Yeah, most of your Ext.Kitchens only have the Fridge and counter space, some have a sink. But you'd definitely would want to add those folding tables to the equation for a more comfortable cooking experience. I mostly like the outside kitchen because it's a great Wet bar. When you want quick access to a Beer or wine or you want to make that much needed Margerita or Long Island Ice tea, you have your Alcohol, sodas and mixers right there. We like socializing with the other RV'rs and campers, and going in and out of the Bus to get them a drink gets old after a while. I'd make you your first drink or get you that 1st beer, but after that you'd have to walk to the outside kitchen and serve yourself. LOL.
The outside cooler definitely eliminated the need for running in and out for a beer or soda. It's cold all the time and no ice required. We also use a portable ice maker for outside to do mixed drinks or margs. Once I unload chairs off of the slide out tray, that becomes the bar. Not ideal ambiance, but it's all under the awning and it all slides closed in the rain. As a bonus I even have an LP tap on that side behind the little door. :)
